Abstract

On the surface a murder mystery-a detective's search for the killer of five people in Denver-Expectation is also, among other things, a meditation on the relationship between language and music.In his newest novel, Jeffrey DeShell draws on the musical innovations of Arnold Schoenberg-by turns traditional, serial, and atonal-to inform his grammar and language. Moving progressively through specific Schoenberg compositions, DeShell complicates the surface of his text into lyrical derivatives, all the while drawing us into a murder mystery like no other as Detective Francisca F

Abstract

"Una ex detective vuelve, después de mucho tiempo y bastantes fracasos, a aceptar un caso: encontrar y traer de vuelta a una mujer que abandonó a su marido para huir con otro hombre hacia el interior de la taiga. Este marido traicionado está convencido, por un breve telegrama que recibió, que en realidad su segunda ex esposa quiere que él la encuentre. La ahora escritora de novelas negras contrata a un traductor para que se internen en ese bosque donde cosas extrañas suceden, donde la realidad se distorsiona y donde la traducción misma comienza a traicionar el sentido del lenguaje y de los sentidos. Se dice que la gente que vive en la taiga se vuelve loca por la desesperación de huir de ahí. La taiga es monotonía y soledad, un territorio invadido por los primitivos excesos del capitalismo (acumulación y expulsión, corrupción y crueldad), aunque las lecciones de su viaje serán más vivenciales que morales: así como el amor puede volar, el desamor también. A veces dejar todo atrás es lo único que queda por hacer, porque ¿hay algo que de verdad exista para siempre?' --

Abstract

Longtemps, le polar a été un genre essentiellement masculin, avec son héros détective venant secourir des femmes trop souvent assignées au rôle de victime. Mais le genre évolue : miroir de la société, il compte à présent de nombreux personnages de femmes enquêtrices, des femmes qui remettent en question les rôles genrés et auxquelles les lectrices peuvent s’identifier. Et qui se battent à armes égales avec les hommes.Cet ouvrage propose un aperçu de ces polars contemporains, en présentant cent une enquêtrices. Chaque entrée, accompagnée d’un extrait, dessine un profil en résonance avec la société actuelle et les enjeux féministes. Non exhaustif et volontairement partial, il se veut un guide pratique pour les lectrices et les lecteurs. Vous êtes en manque d’héroïnes ? Ce livre est pour vous.
